My Old Star
#34 Living Together
Arfan looked at Mentari pity, the girl still looked very shocked compared to feeling her legs were a little still sore.
Siska follows Mentari to Arfan's car, "I'm sorry we Mentari, we forgot the coast guard's message."
"You're innocent, I've forgotten that because I'm so happy."
Siska hugged Mentari, "Is anyone sick?" His whisper.
"My leg is slightly injured Sis," replied Mentari.
"Cure soon enough, dear Mentari,"
"Thank you dear Siska."
They hugged her long enough, and Siska felt guilty for not being able to protect her best friend.
"The commentary will come with me, Siska you're with Arman!" Arfan interrupted the two of them who were still hugging.
"Okay sir" replied Siska.
"You be careful on the road, yes" Siska said.
"Yes Sis.. You are too!"
The two friends separated from each other temporarily, although Siska actually wanted to accompany Mentari, only she also did not have the heart to let Arman drive alone.
Arfan drove his car followed by the car driven by Arman behind them, a journey they had to travel far enough that the exhausted Mentari fell asleep in the passenger seat.
"You must be very tired little girl, forgive me for not being able to fully take care of you well" Arfan thoughtfully, occasionally looking at the sleeping Mentari in peace.
Now they are in front of campus dormitory Z after traveling about three hours. The sun had not woken up so Arfan did not have the heart to disturb the girl's sleep.
"Is Mentari still sleeping sir?" Tanya Siska who rushed to Arfan's car as soon as she got off the car driven by Arman.
"Not Sis, it seems like she's very tired today!" arfan answered, who got out of the car.
Arfan turned to the front of his car then lifted Mentari for him to take into the dormitory, considering that it was late, Arfan did not want Mentari to catch a cold because it was too long exposed to the night wind.
In the middle of the night Mentari awoke with sweat flooding all over her body, she had a nightmare. This afternoon, he entered his dream. Siska wakes up and gets water for Mentari so she can be a little calmer.
"You calm down Mentari!" said Siska while giving a glass filled with water to Mentari.
"Drink first!"
Mentari grabbed the glass Siska gave him and drank it.
"What do you see in your dreams?"
"I feel like the guy's still around here Sis, I kind of see him in the window."
"You're just still traumatized so that it all goes into your dreams!"
"I'm really scared of Sis," Mentari hugged Siska.
"There I am, we've locked the door and the window. No one can get in here. After all in front of there is a dorm guard who will not allow just anyone to go inside plus our distance with that person is already quite far away, he'll never find our whereabouts here Dance." Siska tries to calm Mentari down.
Mentari was no longer able to sleep, his drowsiness felt lost along with a sense of anxiety that binds him.
"If you sleepy just sleep Sis, I'll be fine!"
Siska shook her head, "Would you just go home tomorrow to your parents, you'd have to get rid of your trauma before you get back here. Home will probably be much safer for you Dance," Siska gave her advice.
"At home I'll often be alone because my Dad and my mom work every day Sis, they sometimes come home late at night. I'd be more scared if I had to be home alone!"
"You're right, too, Mentari,"
Siska seemed dumbstruck to think of a way to eliminate the fear in Mentari. He did not want his best friend to drag on in his fear that could be frustratingly prolonged.
Early in the morning Arfan came to the dormitory, he rushed to see Mentari after reading a message from Siska.
Tok...
Arfan knocked on the door of Mentari's room and surprised the girl who was still dumbstruck waiting for Siska to come out of the bathroom.
"Who?" Ask Mentari before turning the keys to her room.
"I'm little Mentari" replied Arfan from the outside.
Mentari was relieved to recognize that voice was Arfan's voice. Slowly Mentari opened the door of his room because his leg was still a little sore.
Arfan hugged Mentari as soon as Mentari opened the door for her, "Are you okay?" Ask.
"I just can't sleep Brother" replied Mentari.
"Are you still afraid?" Ask Arfan again.
They were still hugging when Siska came out of the bathroom, "You make me jealous!" Siska joking that makes Mentari release Arfan's embrace. His face was red with shame.
"Let's go in first Brother," Mentari invited Arfan in.
"Siska are you gonna be okay if you stay here alone?" Arfan directed his question to Siska after he sat down.
"It's pretty safe here, so it's fine to stay alone sir!"
"It's good that it's like that!"
Mentari did not understand Arfan's question because he also lived there and why Siska should stay alone he thought.
"Siska lives with me sister, so there's no way she's alone here!"
"For your sake, I'll stay here alone for a while dear Mentari,"
"You mean Sis?"
"You'll move for a while from here, until you don't feel scared anymore because the shadow of that person is on the window" Arfan answered Mentari's question.
"Yes Mentari you follow Mr. Arfan first yes, you will be safe with Mr. Arfan!" Siska added.
"But Sis...,"
"You don't have to worry about me, baby, because I'll be fine!" Siska tried to convince Mentari.
Mentari looked at Siska's face, on the one hand she did not want to leave Siska on the other she also still felt frightened.
"Just for a while, let me help you with your stuff Dance!" Siska encourages Mentari's body to prepare with her belongings before noon.
Arfan has asked permission from the boarder so that Mentari can stay outside the dormitory first for certain reasons. Luckily the manager allowed Mentari for the reasons given by Arfan was quite logical.
"You will stay at my club Mentari" said Arfan casually as he sat down.
"What?!" Mentari was surprised by Arfan's statement.
"There's the safest place for you right now Mentari!"
"Not that, brother,"
"I won't go over the line, so you don't have to worry." Arfan convinced Mentari.
"Then what if my Dad and my mom knew we were living together, they would definitely be so angry with me!"
"I will be responsible for this" replied Arfan steadily.
"Let's go!" Arfan invites Mentari to leave the dormitory after all her belongings have been cleared.
The mentor looked still doubtful, "Let me never exceed the limits!" arfan's Promise.
"Siska..," Mentari hugged her best friend.
"You don't have to worry about me, I'll be fine. Now go, can't we still meet on campus?"
"I'm leaving, Sis, you take good care of yourself!" Mentari releases her embrace, then leaves the dorm with Arfan.
Mentari knows if Sania and Steven are still at Arfan's club, of course at the moment he must really prepare to meet them. His current move was sudden, so inevitably he had to make peace with himself, mentally prepared so that he was always strong if forced to see the togetherness of Arfan with Sania and Steven.
"Why daydream?"
"Isn't it nice to be with me always?"
Arfan asked while driving because he did not hear Mentari say a word while riding into the car.
"I-I'm just worried if Dad and my mom know I'm living with you sister!" Mentari tries to give a syllogical answer probably because he does not want to be considered distrustful with Arfan who says that he and Sania are only friends.
"It's only temporary, if your fear can be overcome then you can go back to the dorm, so we try our best not to let them know," Arfan gently rubbed Mentari's hair with his left hand.
Now that they arrived in front of the club, Mentari's heart was racing. Yesterday he was surprised, he didn't want to get another surprise from Arfan at his club.
Dio greeted them in front, "Sister-in-law it's been a long time since we've met!" Dio looked sparkling to welcome the arrival of Mentari.
Everyone at the club knows Mentari will be staying with them for a while, so they are very enthusiastic. The jolly Mentari Person, since the first time he came, has been able to captivate the hearts of all of them. In addition to never being arrogant when close to their Boss, Mentari is also very fun for them because it can melt the atmosphere so as not to tense with the aura of Arfan who is always cold.
"Then I came here but you guys weren't there,"
"Ah really, maybe when you came we were going to fight."
Mentari and Dio seemed to forget Arfan, they were busy chatting together and entered without caring for Arfan who was still in the back carrying a suitcase owned by Mentari.
"You guys!" Arfan scatted then entered with a slight annoyance.
